Unix Question

[Ryanwb]

So I am trying to bone up on my Unix skills and I have a question. I do not remember there being a "Bourne" shell, I remember a shell called "BASH" but my book doesn't mention it. Is Bourne the new bash or am I confused.

I never forgot Korn

I think that is right Ryan. I think BASH is an acronym for Bourne shell. If will double chck if I can find where I got that.

Yea,
bash is "Bourne Again SHell"
from the GNU Project.
